OpenAI president Greg Brockman has taken control of the company's consumer and enterprise product teams, including ChatGPT, Codex and major infrastructure work, according to The Verge. The reported shift follows a series of senior executive departures and role changes over recent months. The source describes Brockman as the company's day-to-day operational leader while CEO Sam Altman focuses on broader direction and IPO-related work. The account does not identify a formal new title or company announcement confirming the reorganization.
